About This Pub
You know, I reckon The Hare & Hounds in Sunbury is one of those pubs that just gets it right most of the time – it's got that cosy, inviting vibe where you can pop in for a quick pint or settle in for a proper meal. From what I've seen, the food's a real highlight; their Sunday roasts are spot on, with plenty of options including a cracking vegetarian choice that's not always easy to find elsewhere. The drinks menu is solid too, offering everything from traditional ales to a nice selection of wines and cocktails, and it's brilliant for watching the footie or hosting a get-together in their function space. The team behind the bar are dead helpful and make you feel like a regular straight away, which adds to the charm. On the flip side, it's worth noting that not every dish might be cooked to your exact liking – someone mentioned the veg being a bit on the firm side, which could be a minor letdown – and with prices sitting at moderate, it might not be the budget-friendly spot for every outing. Still, overall, it's a lovely place to while away an afternoon or evening, and I'd say it's well worth a visit if you're in the area and fancy a bite with good company.

Our first time in this pub. Went looking for a vegetarian Sunday Roast. Never easy to find & almost always disappointing. Not in this case though! The veggie Roast here was great! served with 4 veg, nicely cooked, lovely seasoned roast potatoes & Yorkshire puddings. They had all the meat options too.
The Hare and Hounds in Sunbury is a gem of a pub! From the moment I walked in, I felt right at home. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, perfect for enjoying a pint. The staff were friendly and made sure I had everything I needed. The beer selection was top-notch, and the pint I had was just what I needed to unwind. I highly recommend this pub for anyone looking for a great place to relax and enjoy a drink. I’ll definitely be back!
Enjoyable Sunday dinner. Easy to book and then alter our booking as we were earlier than expected. Good sized dinner, all had the beef. Parsnips and sprouts touch harder than we like but that's a personal choice. Good selection of beers on tap plus alcohol free Guinness 👌.
All at good prices and service. Would recommend it.
thank you to Donald, Kirsty and the team. We had our baby shower here, and I came in a couple of times before the event to confirm arrangements, they always had time for me. On the day we were able to move the furniture about to suit our decor, and the service was great. Everyone had a great time, and the private garden to the function room keeps you separate from the rest of the pub. Great location for a function. Thank you
My partner and myself held a joint 24th party in the private function room with about 50 people that attended. We chose this venue as we are locals and somewhat of regulars. Donald and the staff were amazing!! Special shout-out to Stuart for the recommendation on ‘easy’ shots. Donald made the planning process so effortless - there were no hidden terms and no booking fee, there was just a minimum spend which was easily met due to the volume of people we had. On the day the staff were so helpful in making sure everything was set before people started to turn up. We didn’t need to plan a playlist as Donald was very generous in allowing my guests and I to write down any requests that were played through the built in speakers at the pub. My only wish was that the night could have gone one longer, haha. I honestly can’t thank Donald and the staff enough for the experience, we will definitely be recommending this place and continue to go to it.
